Senior Photos Shopping Inspiration
I love helping high school seniors decide on or find just the right outfit for their senior portraits. We love to help with shopping ideas for senior portraits. Today I’ll share some Senior photos shopping inspiration for you with help from a local boutique, the super stylish Hello Fancy Boutique in Rochester Michigan. For this senior photos shopping inspiration session, Lily and Clara were our fabulous models. They put on a few different outfits and we hit the streets in downtown Rochester for their photo session!
When it comes to senior photo sessions, finding the perfect outfit is crucial. After all, these photos will be treasured for years to come, and you want to look and feel your best in them. Here are some tips for shopping for your senior photo session outfit:
1. Start by considering the location of your photo shoot. If you’ll be taking photos in a park or natural setting, you may want to opt for something flowy and bohemian. If you’ll be taking photos in an urban setting, a more edgy and modern outfit may be appropriate.
2. Think about your personal style and what makes you feel confident. If you’re a fan of vintage clothing, consider incorporating some retro elements into your outfit. If you love bold colors, don’t be afraid to go for something bright and eye-catching.
3. Consider the weather and time of year. If you’ll be taking photos in the fall, for example, you may want to choose an outfit that incorporates warm tones and cozy textures.
4. Don’t forget about accessories! A statement necklace or a pair of bold earrings can really elevate your outfit and add some personality to your photos. 5. Finally, make sure you feel comfortable in your outfit. You want to be able to move around and pose without feeling restricted or self-conscious. By following these tips, you can find the perfect outfit for your senior photo session and feel confident and beautiful in your photos. Happy shopping!

If Senior Portraits with action are what you are looking for I’d love to help you out with incorporating that into your senior portrait session. I was so excited when a new inquiry said that they were looking for senior portraits with mountain biking and came across my website. She may have seen this mountain biking senior portrait session from Stony Creek Metro Park. Here is a photo from that Senior Portraits with Action session.
And of course we did some more traditional portraits as well.
A previous senior asked me the other week if I could get some action shots of him mountain biking. Of course, especially since this one was my son. Off we went to Stony Creek Metro Park to hit the mountain biking trails!
I’d love to help you incorporate what you love, including some action shots, into your senior portrait session. Whether you are into running, mountain biking, skate boarding, or something else I’d love to capture you in action. Spice up your session with Senior Portraits with Action!

A Senior Prom Photo Session are a great way to savor this day that so much thought and planning goes into. Hang on to this special day with professional senior prom photo session. These senior prom portraits are sure to be treasured. I’d love to help with some tips along the way with prom planning and finding the right gown or suit.
My daughter starting shopping for a prom dress in January of her senior year. Lulus.com is a great on-line choice and she ordered one from there in a beautiful wine color. It was beautiful but she continued her search. She is very into nature and loves flowers and somewhat of a sweet, simple vintage feel. We googled dresses with floral overlays and came across this dress found at Reformation. She fell in love with it! As a photographer for both weddings and portraits I have come up with a list of a couple things to look for or avoid in special clothing. Once we saw the dress in person we were really impressed. I liked that the seam of the dress was not right at the top but at least a 1/2″ inside the dress. I’ve noticed clothing in the past that curls down due to the seam so that issue is resolved with this dress. The back was smocked in the back making for a comfortable dress that moves with you. When buying an dress don’t just make sure it looks good while standing straight but with moving, sitting, bending… I also liked how the slit overlapped. The soft satin material and sweet floral print was just right for my daughter’s style. Another big reason she chose this dress is Reformation’s reputation as a sustainable women’s clothing company. All this means a lot to my daughter, making this a great choice for her, as well as fitting into our budget. For men’s suits I also recommend Milano Tailor. They have a great selection of suits, at a great price and it includes tailoring. This business is so well run. My sons have gotten a lot of use out of their suits. If you are not local to Rochester make sure to search out your local tailors and see if they sell suits.
Don’t forget to plan ahead for prom. Decide if you want to spend the money on professional hair, makeup and/or nails. We decided to go with professional hair styling at Ruby and Clover Hairdressing in Rochester. We wanted a hair style to last through the evening and we felt that after the right dress the hair was the next most important thing. My daughter did her own makeup and nails. She did a variation of a french manicure with sage green tips.
Senior Prom Photo Session
For this Prom Photo Session we made a stop at a covered porch since we were not so lucky with the weather that day.
I hope this has been helpful to you in planning for your son or daughter’s prom. Don’t forget the prom portraits! I’d love to help with your child’s senior portrait session and help with the processes from beginning to end! From What to Wear and How to Prepare to great products with your portraits I’m here to help!

Professional Event Photography
You’ve put in the work planning the perfect party. It passes so fast, remember your wedding?

Even more importantly capture your high school seniors support team, made up of family and friends that supported you and them through the years and have joined together to celebrate your high school senior. Enjoy your party and let a professional photographer capture your event. Ask about the best way to preserve these images from your graduation celebration.
